6:00pm - Choral Evensong (Book of Common Prayer) for the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls)
Officiant: The Reverend John McManners
***Please add the names of those you wish to be remembered at this service to the list at the back of church.***
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.
They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
Wisdom 3:1-9, King James Version
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion;
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem .
Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet.
Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
Requiem Aeternam
Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God, we pray to thee:
and light perpetual shine on them forever.
Thou, Lord, art worshipped in Sion:
thy praises shall ever be sung in all Jerusalem.
O hear us: O Lord, hear thy faithful servants' prayer;
to thee shall all mortal flesh return.
Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy.
The Eternal Rest
